    "The word was a god"?

    Strangely enough, it becomes clear when you carefully read it all.

    "The word was a god"?

    ........................................................... Is. 9:6 All Christians, I believe, accept this son as being the Christ. Some will tell you that since the meaning of this symbolic name includes the words "Mighty God, Eternal Father," then Jesus is the Mighty God and the Eternal...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    ................................................................... I don't know why the WTS used capitals for "Lord" and "God" there. When I did my independent studies of trinity "proofs," I was attempting to decide between the trinity and the single-person God. I used mostly my own studies...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    ....................................... And how do most major Bibles (KJV, ESV, NASB, NRSV, NIV, etc.) translate John's anarthrous count nouns? How about these examples of an anarthrous predicate count noun which is found before the verb in John’s writing: H.....1. John 4:9 (a) - indefinite...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    Rise and Raise In English we use “rise” and “raise” with two distinctly different meanings. “Rise” is what a person or thing does by itself to itself: “I rise every morning at dawn;” “the sun will rise soon.” “Raise,” on the other hand, is what a person does to some other object or...

    God's Personal Name & New World Translation

    Still refusing to do basic study. Try reading the 1902 American Standard Version (translated long before the NWT): Genesis 28:13 American Standard Version 13 And, behold, Jehovah stood above it, and said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou...

    God's Personal Name & New World Translation

    BH wrote above: "You quoted the Watchtower and they have no credibility and trustworthiness by a long shot. Again you are ignoring post #114 that refutes your New World Translation. So even your other sources are suspect because you are biased to a false cult that repeatedly lies."...

    God's Personal Name & New World Translation

    .................................................. So all of the quoted sources in my last 2 posts are my leaders who "have brainwashed" me?? So I am a trinitarian after all?? I don't believe you read anything that might change an unbiased mind.

    God's Personal Name & New World Translation

    And the New Bible Dictionary, Tyndale House Publ., 1984, after telling us on p. 812 that God changed his previously ‘external’ relationship with mankind by revealing his PERSONAL NAME to his people and thereby established with them “the highly personal relationship to a God who has given his...

    God's Personal Name & New World Translation

    ......................................... IMPORTANCE OF THE PERSONAL NAME OF GOD Since the scriptures Jesus quoted (even from the Septuagint of his era) often used God's personal name, would he, the perfect representative of God and truth, not read what was written in the sacred...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    .......................................... I guess I misunderstood. The "mono" part of monogenes means 'only,' so the word is 'only-begotten.'

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    ........................................ I replied [post 123] to your statement: "Nowhere else in scripture does it use the word begotten in the sense of creating." And this is your answer to that??

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    ........................................ The scriptures are the original OT and NT Hebrew and Greek texts. The 17th century English translation (KJV) is an imperfect translation of relatively recent copies of copies (etc.) of the originals. The trinitarian KJV translators knew, for example...

    God's Personal Name & New World Translation

    ScottA, your post #102 did not answer my question. And you clearly did not read the last few paragraphs of my post #97 as you said you did. (Or you simply ignored it.) Just a little honest examination of "Hallelujah" shows it contains God's personal name (Jah/Jehovah). “Psalms 113-118...
